lists and news!
Happy almost-February! I really like this month. I do. There are fun family birthdays, and treats, and it's short and spring is coming.
This is one of those newsy-type posts…
First of all, MATCHED was named to YALSA's list of 2012 Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults. You can see the full list here. I love YALSA!!! Remember when MATCHED made the 2011 Teens' Top Ten List and my life was made?
Second, I want to thank all of you for your support of both MATCHED and CROSSED. MATCHED has been on the New York Times bestseller list for paperback for 18 weeks running now, ever since its release, I believe. And CROSSED spent 7 weeks on the hardcover list, among many Lego books and also Brian Selznick. This significantly increased my nine-year-old's opinion of me.
Third, I have updated the Events page. Due to some family circumstances (no, I am not pregnant), I am really limiting events this spring, and so I just have one scheduled–a visit at the Holladay Library, which has been in the works for months. I would love to see you there!
Finally, I have some giveaways and author interviews scheduled for February. It should be a most excellent month. Come back soon! And I think I need to make these cookies.

Ally-I'm so bummed! I will miss you by 1 week. I will happen to be in Holloday the weekend before. :o( Thanks for writing such awesome clean books for all to enjoy. :o)
I read Crossed last week. I loved Matched and couldn't wait to continue. I want you to know that I really enjoyed reading Crossed. I love the story. I know some of my friends didn't like the changing veiw points throughout the book, but it did not bother me at all. I actually though it was good to see Ky and Cassia's views. Thanks for sharing your great stories. I hope your family is well. If you every come to Idaho I would love to meet you.
